sam was building a suspension bridge for the playground at an elementary school and needed some chain link and rope. He bought a total of 80 feet of materials. The chain link cost $2.00 per foot, and the rope cost $1.50 per foot. He spent a total of $135. How much of each did he buy?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c and r represent the quantities of chain link and rope that Sam purchases, respectively.

  c + r = 80 . . . . . total of lengths purchased

  2c +1.5r = 135 . . . . cost of amount purchased

Subtracting the second equation from twice the first gives ...

  2(c +r) -(2c +1.5r) = 2(80) -(135)

  0.5r = 25

  r = 50

  c = 30

Sam bought 30 feet of chain link and 50 feet of rope.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
